TSA Nabs Suspected Al Queda Terrorist At Chicago Airport, A toddler in a wheelchair

This video was taken in in the spring of 2010 at either O'Hare or Midway Airport.

A toddler in a wheelchair is stopped by the TSA at the Airport in Chicago and forced to into a sequestered area. On his way to a family vacation in Disney, this 3 year old boy is in a body cast for a broken leg. Despite assurances from his father that "everything is ok", he is physically trembling with fear while he watches his two siblings, mother, father, grandfather and grandmother pass through along with everyone else...only to be singled out.

He simply does not understand what is happening and why.

4. no worries.

But modems are pretty cheap these days.

Sometime about 7,8 years ago, I was flying to Hawaii for a conference (alas, the pain) when I saw a man in front of me being searched. In his 80s, wearing a suit, carrying what was obviously an urn of a loved one. They forced him to pour the ashes of his dead wife out, and sift through them. Then, they took away a diamond encrusted nail clipper, a gift from his wife, they destroyed it in front of his face, and threw it away. Turns out he was heading to Hawaii to bury the ashes.

Everyone in that terminal had one thought on their minds, ASSHOLES.

6. Oh that's horrible

I hope he brought back some pumice from Madame Pele for them to confiscate. Nothing like being cursed by a Hawaiian goddess to slow an overeager TSA agent down.

Keep up the good work, TSA!

7. Another vid showing TSA giving the third degree to a young mum with a deadly bottle of breast milk

Some of these people seem to really get off on behaving like vindictive assholes:

8. I will NOT fly because I am afraid of my government ......

why isn't there MORE outrage about this crap?

9. 2 old videos here, as examples;

OP noted, above, that s/he hadn't noticed its age.

There has been outrage, and imo things have improved. Flying next week; will let everyone know how it goes. When I have flown in recent years, I've noticed polite and reasonable behavior by TSA.

12. Too bad, imo, to cause a fuss at this point.
